Mixed Day for Photography

Today was dry and sunny after a misty start, so we did the Mannlichen walk.
The 24mm lens is my favourite for alpine flower photography but I also tried it with an extension ring. With the 25mm ring the focus is very close and the depth of focus very narrow as seen with the Sainfoin flower. Using a 12mm ring proved very useful for photographing small flowers such as this White orchid.
As well as many new species of flowers, I also had the privilege of photographing a dragonfly that had just emerged, an incredible cloud formation against the north wall of the Eiger and a very tame Fox.
